Prayer

Thoughts on Today’s Verse

This beautiful Psalm of David is a most graphic descriptor of the Lord Jesus Christ, Who like David was also a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief – and Who like His forefather was also a Man who trusted in the Lord His God, and rested His soul His heavenly Father.

David repeatedly recites the goodness of the Lord towards himself, and rejoices in the loving-kindness of the God of His Salvation. He records the many times that the Lord seen and responded to the accusations, affliction and troubles that stalk his path and praises the Lord his God – Who puts to flight the enemies who secretly lay snares to entrap him.

Despite the long list of adversaries that seek his destruction, the sorrows and sighing that sap his strength and the slanderous conspiracies that are plotted against him, David is able to declare, but as for me, I trust in You, O Lord.. I rejoice to say, “You are my God.”

The times in which we live are becoming increasingly difficult, causing the man or woman of God to cling ever closer to our God and Father. Let us rejoice in the Lord our God and proclaim with David. I trust in You O Lord – for You are my God.
